How do i solve this? 5a + 14 = -5 +8a !

To solve linear equations, you just need to get the term you don’t know, IMO this case a, on the same side. We can do this by subtracting 5a from both sides:

5a + 14 = -5 + 8a

- 5a

14 = -5 + 3a

Then we just need to solve for a:

14 = -5 + 3a

+ 5

19 = 3a

÷ 3

a = 19/3 = 6 1/3

I hope this helps!

the required function is .

step-by-step explanation:

from the given table it is noticed that the graph passing through (-3,7), (0,4), (3,1) and (8,-4).

it is a linear function because the value of y is decrease by one as the value of x increase by 1.

the slope of the function is

the slope of the function is -1 and the y-intercept is 4.

the slope intercept form is

where, m is slope and b is y-intercept.

therefore the required function is . the graph of this function is shown below.
